We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

mpheaven   I don't know which type of circuit breaker my friend used in his amps.  I've tried several low end brand fuses while I waited for the SR Black.  The Black was superior even without breaking in (72 hours).  The SR Blue was superior immediately upon insertion and got better over time, not as dramatically but better overall.  I have another pair of the same amps built 10  years ago that need upgrading.  I will install the circuit breakers in them.  I will be able to then compare the SR Blue and circuit breaker amps head to head.  I bet they will be close.

As to new or old stock fuses by Littlefuse and Buss, I couldn't tell the difference.  Georgehifi always says the old fuse oxidized and is weaker than a new fuse.  Well, I tried new in place of old (15+ year old) stock fuses and I couldn't tell the difference.

Well you've passed the fuse'rs test code, or maybe you didn't try it in the other way round.

Yes, I tried it in both directions and neither sounded good.  Maybe if I applied some Total Contact it would have sounded better but why waste a good product on a mediocre product (mediocre for audio purposes, excellent for electrical safety purposes).  

I don't know the vintage of the new Littlefuse and Buss fuse.  They may have been several years old sitting in my drawer.  I'm sure you will say that they should have been newly made to sound better.  You'll write anything to discredit me.
